Section 2: Hazards Identification NON-HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE - NON-DANGEROUS GOOD STATEMENT OF HAZARDOUS NATURE: Product as supplied is classified as Non Hazardous according to the criteria of the Australian Safety and Compensation Council ASCC (formerly NOHSC). Approved Criteria For Classifying Hazardous Substances [NOHSC: 1008] 3rd Edition. Sisalation Reflective Foil Insulation is classified as Non-Dangerous Goods according to the Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail. When cut, abraded or heated to over 120 C, dust/fumes may be created which are classified as Hazardous. The following risk and safety phrases apply to any Antimony Trioxide in dust, or decomposition fumes from this product: Risk Phases Safety Phases R36/37/38 Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. S36/37 Wear suitable protective clothing & gloves. Section 3: Composition/Information on Ingredients Chemical Name Proportion CAS Number Kraft Paper - 30-60% - Polyolefin Weave material, coated 30-60% - Aluminium Foil 10 - <30% - Chlorinated Hydrocarbons (contained in other ingredients) 10 - <30% - Antimony Trioxide < 10% 1309-64-4 Glass Filament < 10% - Section 4: First Aid Measures The following relate to treatment of any irritant health effects resulting from exposure to any dust or the fumes evolved if product is heated to above 120 C. Swallowed: Eye: Skin: Inhaled: Notes to Doctor: Unlikely under normal conditions of use. Rinse the lips and mouth with water, give water to drink, and seek medical attention. Flush with copious amounts of water. If symptoms persist seek medical attention. Sluice with water and, if irritation persists, seek medical attention. Remove to fresh air. If symptoms persist seek medical attention. Treatment should be directed toward the source of irritation with symptomatic treatment as necessary. Data Sheet 2
Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures Specific Hazards: Extinguishing Media: Fire Fighting Procedures: Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hazchem Code: Sisalation Reflective Foil will burn if involved in a fire. Delamination may occur at temperatures over 80 C. Use extinguishing media (e.g. carbon dioxide, water, foam or dry chemical) and equipment as required by fire in surrounding materials. If product is present in a fire, toxic fumes may be evolved. Evacuate area and contact emergency services. Remain upwind and notify those downwind of hazard. Firefighters wear full protective equipment including Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) according to fire conditions. Chlorine and hydrogen chlorine may be evolved if product is heated to above 120 C. Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Reuse where possible or disposal according to local authority guidelines. Section 7: Handling and Storage Handling: Storage: Incompatibilities: Sisalation Reflective Foil Insulation, as supplied and once installed, does not release dust, and does not cause any health effects. Store in sealed container in cool, dry area. Ensure packages are adequately labelled, protected from physical damage, and sealed when not in use. Data Sheet 3
Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Exposure Standards: Engineering Controls, Ventilation: Personal Protection Skin Protection: Eye Protection: National Occupational Exposure Standard (NES) Australian Safety and Compensation Council, ASCC (formerly NOHSC): the following standards apply to dust from the product or to fumes from high temperature decomposition: Chlorine: 3mg/m3 Hydrogen Chloride: 7.5 mg/m3 Antimony Trioxide: 0.5mg/m3 ASCC standards provide that all exposures should be kept as low as practicable. Total dust (of any type, or particle size): 10 mg/m3 TWA. During most applications and installation of this product, no special ventilation will be required. Standard work clothing including gloves when cutting product. No specific requirements for this product. Eye protection recommended for work where dust or particles may be generated. Respiratory Protection: Non required for this product in usual working conditions. An approved particulate respirator conforming to Australian and New Zealand Standards AS/NZS 1715 and 1716 is recommended if dust from the product is created. Heating of product above 120 C, may cause smoke or fumes, and cartridge-type or powered respirators or supplied-air helmets or suits may be necessary. Use only respirators that bear the Australian Standards mark and arefitted and maintained correctly, and kept in clean storage when not in use.

Section 10: Stability and Reactivity Chemical Stability: Hazardous Polymerisation: Stable. No reported incompatibilities Conditions to avoid: Heating to over 120 C Hazardous Decomposition products: Heating to over 120 C will result in toxic fumes (chlorine and hydrogen chloride) being produced. Section 11: Toxicological Information ACUTE EFFECTS Swallowed: Skin: Inhaled: Chronic: Unlikely under normal conditions of use, but may result in mild irritation of the lips, mouth and throat. Physical irritant only. Dust or fumes from high temperature decomposition may cause eye discomfort resulting in watering and redness. from handling product as supplied. Dust from cutting or abrading product may cause mild irritation. when using product as supplied. Dust may be slightly irritant and fumes from high temperature decomposition may be irritant and cause headaches, nausea and irritation of lungs (see Sections 5 and 8). Glass filament does not produce respirable glass fibres. No effects from chronic exposures to dust are reported. Antimony Trioxide (production) is regarded as a category 2 carcinogen (suspect human carcinogen) by ASCC (NOHSC) in the list of Atmospheric Contaminants. Antimony Trioxide itself is not classified as a carcinogen by ASCC. The Antimony Trioxide in this product (less than 10%) is not classifiable as carcinogenic. Exposure to dust from this product (or fumes from high temperature decomposition) is not known or suspected to be carcinogenic. Section 12: Ecological Information Ecotoxicity: Persistence and Degradability: Mobility: Sisalation Reflective Foil Insulation is inert and is not considered to pose any environmental or ecological risk. Product would be expected to be of low bio-degradability and persistent in the environment. Low mobility in landfill situations. Section 13: Disposal consideration May be disposed of as common trade waste in accordance with local authority guidelines. Data Sheet 5
